Weve seen a lot of busts earning TPE faster too though burning themselves out early. Not saying this is the case but even if you use my player as an example. Well im 100% not earning at the rate i did with Sergei my last player. Im a much safer bet as an example as the rounds get later to continue to earn safely at 7-9 TPE most weeks. Lots to factor in as a GM, young members typically can earn faster as they are not as burnt out as older members, but the bust rate is higher as well. In such a deep draft you dont want to mess up 2nd overall

Evgeni Komarov much like everyone in his family prides himself on being an elite shut down, and physical player. In his rookie VHLM season he amassed, 135PIMs which had him tied for 2nd place, 106 shots blocked good for 10th, and 242 hits good for 4th. All this well being new to the league. It shows the type of player he plans to be for the rest of his career. Pros of Evgeni Komarov Checking - He hits like a truck, hes strong on the puck and body leaving bruises. Its very apparent he loves to hit when you look at his total in his rookie season an he is still growing as a player into his body and will only get better. He is very sneeky, when it comes to getting up on opponents due to his size he can almost be invisible till hes up in your face with a crushing hit. Defense - In his own zone for a young kid, hes very talented and only learning. Hes gotta keep improving as he jumps to the bigs but for a young raw talent he looks really good. This will be a strength though his entire career as he solidifies himself as a PK specialist. Fighting - He will drop the gloves and scrap with anyone. His lack of backing down is a huge reason why teams were ringing the phone to aquire him when Vegas decided to sell. Hes a tough customer who doesnt make it easy to take advantage of the teams stars. Pound for pound there is not much tougher customers clocking in at only 5 foot 8 he reminds us of Tie Domi if he played defense. Cons of Evgeni Komarov Offense - He had a decent year in the VHLM offensively, but that is not a sign of things to come. He is an old school defensice defender. He lets his own zone play dictate the game. Dont expect this to change all that much as his career furthers. He likely will see an uptick im assists as he adds abit to his passing game allowing him to play a bigger role in the VHL, but will never been an offensive star. Disipline - One downfall of his style of hockey is the penalties he takes, if your a team that is awful on the PK may not be worth your time. He will be an assest on the PK when hes not in the box though. He will most certianly need to work on this abit, but do not expect him to win the VHL version of a lady Byng. Size - Evgeni Komarov plays like he is Sergei who checked in at 6 foot 8, but the reality is he clocks in at 5 foot 8. He is a very scrappy player and not afraid of anyone. However his size often can leave him overwhelmed against bigger opponents. He wont let that get to him, as he continues to build his strength and skating ability to make him a very effective defender.

Evgeni Komarov Hits = 8TPE Points = 6TPE

For those worried about my activity, i can put your minds at rest. Typically my company sees a huge spike around this time, due to everyone and their light fixtures. This has led to me missing the last few weeks of updates which is out of sorts for me. But it does happen almost every year. People blowing fuses, to asking us to come make sure their houses are still up to code, and wont overload the grids. In about 2 weeks we shut down for the holidays, minus my emergancy guy who doesnt celebrate christmas. After that i will be back to normal again. Just knowing the draft is around i wanted to put some minds to rest about my activity. I still intend to make this my last player. Evegeni seems to be doing just fine as the 21st are up 3-1 in the semi finals. Hoping for a cup! Hope everyone enjoys their holidays. Look forward to a full return in a few weeks

Which means Davos is fked if its anything like @Spade18 haha jk luv u

Evgeni Komarov is an enforcer type defensive defender. For potential teams looking at drafting the Russian, he has one clear message. Do not expect, him to change his game. He will build some passing but for the most part hes sticking to a handful of skills, checking, fighting, defense, strength, skating. Hes building a foundation, to be the best enforcer in VHL history. Keep this is mind when it comes to drafting him. Ive built my good player and his career was nothing but a disapointment as he managed to accomplish nothing. Now im building Evgeni for fun. I wont pump out likely more than 8 TPE a week, between welfare, practice and VHL articles. Which means he will be a solid number 3 for contender, Top pair for a rebuilder. Dont draft me if your expecting my build to change or my plans. As they will not i have a path with my player im sticking to it.

Sergei Komarovs lack of awards is due to the era he came in during Cornerstone, and by the time he was ready to take the mantle McAllister was a TPE whore. Its disapointing to realize that given im on my last player my best had to come at a time with 2 of argueable the best players in VHL history

So now we have 2 awards based on offensive production from the blueline LOL dont kid yourselves the Labatte was always the top offensive defender with semi decent d stats. Now we just have 2 awards for points further making the point of league wants people to build different ways but focuses on offense forcing everyone to build the same

Id imagine if someone trade for you and needed a LW theyd just play you on the offside as it doesnt hurt in the sim playing wings on off wings

I was shocked too given we are what not even a 1/4 done the season. Everyone made their moves super early. Last year we started dealing what like 40 games in. This year like 15

The Komarov family has been traded before, once out of Davos when Vlad stepped down and ushered in a new era in Davos. Then Sergei from New York both were not shocking moves they both were times of rebuilds for the teams and the agent was told about it. Last night without even knowing he was on the block Evgeni was traded. From the Aces a team his family helped capture a cup for to the newest expansion team the 21st. It stunned the young defender who was carving out a really good stat line one that is likely to take a hit playing on a deeper team. Infact contact between Evgeni and the 21st hasnt even happened yet he still laced up today for the Aces. Its unclear what his expected role is will he be top pair,Secondpair, Powerplay, or penalty kill? So many unclear questions as he looks to play his first games tomorrow with the new threads on. The punisher has been developing nicely, building on his skill set one he does not intend on changing. He will focus on checking, defense, fighting. Well using his strength and speed to get under opponents skin. Doesnt matter who he suits up for thats how hes building. I admit im suprised at the apparent interest in Evgeni, hes not a flashy player and wont light up the VHLM. Depending on my TPE earn rate might not even stay down for more than this season.

Hmm never been traded before atleast that i didnt see coming lol

You wont find his name on the score sheet, probably wont even see him much on the ice due to his 5 foot 6 frame. Where you will find him though is in your face, blocking a shot, throwing a punch, or in the penalty box. The enforcer has done what he was advertised as, hes hitting played like a truck, getting under the opponenets skin in the box, and saving a few goals with his legs, body, and head. Hes not Sergei who stepped onto the VHL scene with a bang racking up 500points well crushing bodies. Hes not Pavel who moved the puck to his forwards with elegant grace, with his slick play making skills. Hes not even Vlad who was a revered defensive juggernaught of the Dynamo. Like the 3 Komarovs before him hes a different beast all together. Even Vlad whose known for his physical play, says he wouldnt be shocked to see his name compete with Edwin Encarnation for the toughest son of a ***** on the ice in VHL history. His tenacity is unmatched for his size, always standing up for teammates waiting to drop the gloves. In a league full of players wanting to be the next Franchise Cornerstone, Gabriel Mcallister, or Mason Richardson. Komarov continues to be a family name that wants to build away from status quo. The toughest family to ever grace the VHL ice surface with over 3000hits in their careers, thousands of PIMS its clear the family wants to be unique even if it means the agent will never grace the VHL HOF.

The Komarov family is known for banging bodies. Sergei and Vlad both have amassed 1500+ career hits. Pavel hit over 1000 after a late start. They all came in over 6 foot 4 and above 240pounds. Its pretty clear the family is full of big boys who love to play the physical game. However Evgeni didnt get the height gene. Coming in at 5'6 150 pounds, but dont let that fool you hes the toughest of the bunch. His skill set reminds hockey fans of Tie Domi who was small but never backed down. Hes comes into Vegas with high fighting skill, high checking, and defensive awareness. Well he may be small his strength is unparalleled for his size. The advantage of his size means he is a fairly good skater able to jump into the play or catch a fast forward for a big check. These will be his main focuses going forward as he looks to strike fear into opposition everywhere.

Alright lets do it
